| Annotation | This article examines philosophical ideas as a theoretical basis for Chinese researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. It analyzes the application of Confucian ethics, Daoist natural philosophy, and Marxist dialectic in the design of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and the development of AI technologies. The main goal of this study is to examine how traditional Chinese philosophical thought can be integrated into modern AI technologies. The study demonstrates that traditional Chinese philosophy influences the development of artificial intelligence, aligning technological development with ethical norms through conceptual transformation, resolving contradictions, and constructing a verification system. The article analyzes the philosophical foundations, practical paths, and future directions of AI development in China from the perspective of interdisciplinary research. This study demonstrates that the emerging technological development model in China embodies the creative transformation of traditional wisdom and demonstrates a positive contribution to the formation of global technological ethics. By exploring key issues such as Confucian “sincerity and enlightenment” and algorithmic transparency, Daoist nature, ecological constraints, and dialectic and dynamic equilibrium, this study provides theoretical recommendations and practical guidance for the future development of artificial intelligence in China. Based on an analysis of existing literature, a theoretical framework was developed and the social impact of AI technology development on individuals and society was assessed. A systems approach forms the methodological foundation of the study, allowing the ideas of traditional Chinese philosophy and modern AI technologies to be considered as a holistic system within interdisciplinary research in the philosophy of technology and ethics. A comparative approach allowed for an analysis of the differences between China and the West in the construction of ethics and AI technologies. A historical approach was applied to analyze the transformation of traditional philosophical concepts as they are applied to the technological development of AI. A practice-oriented approach enabled the analysis of specific AI practices. The discussion of the research results shows that despite China’s significant progress in the application of artificial intelligence technologies, the systematic development of fundamental philosophical research is urgently needed. |
